Blue Jays second baseman Andrés Giménez was at the plate with runners on first and third base, no outs and the score tied at 0-0. 

Giménez then motioned to the bench that he was grazed by the pitch and should be awarded first base. As Giménez began discussing the potential hit by pitch with Little, Schneider emerged from the dugout to join the conversation that Apple TV+ microphones picked up. 

"He's saying the ball hit him," Little told Scheider. "But we've got a swing, so we've got a dead ball."

"How the f--- are you gonna call that?" Schneider said in disbelief at Little's call on the swing. 

Giménez ended up striking out, and the Blue Jays did not score in the bottom of the inning. Despite the conversation between Schneider and Little, the Blue Jays manager was not ejected. 

The teams, both 1-1, play Saturday at 3:07 p.m. ET. Max Scherzer will start for the Blue Jays, while Dean Kremer will take the bump for the Orioles.
